Then through long years OF good and Ill
To peasants and to kings

Chance raised Times coverings.

How StOnewall Jackson Fell.

After night fell, Stonewall jackson
rode out with his staff to reconnoitre IN
front of the line he had gained. 1t was
his idea to stretch completely around the
rear Of Hooker and cut him off from the
river.
The night was dark and Jackson soon
came upon the Union lines. Their in
fantry drove him back, and as he re-
turned in the darkness his own soldiers
began firing at their commander, of
course missaking his party for the enemy.
jackson was shot in the hand and wrist,
and in the upper arm at the same time.
His horse turned, and the General lost
his hold of the bride rein; his cap was
brushed from his head by the branches
he reclcd and was caught in the arms OF
an officer. After moment he was as
sisted to dismount, his wound was ex-
amined, and a litter was brought. Just
then the Union artillery opened again
and murderous fire came down upon
the party through the woods and the
darkness. One of the litter bearers
stumbled and fell, and the others were
frightened; they lad the litter on the
ground, the furious storm of shot and
Shell sweeping over them like hail.
jackson attempted to rise, bat his
aid-dc- camp held him down till
the tempest of fire was lullcd.
Then the woundeaGeneFa: was helped
to rise-af walked a few steps in the
forest. but he became faint and was laid
again in his litter. Once he rolled to
the ground when an assistant was shot,
and the litter fell. Just then General
Pender, one of his subordinates passed.
He stopped and said; -.
81 hope you are not seriously hurt,
General. l fear l shall have to retire my
troops they arc so much broken"
But Jackson looked up at once and ex-
claimed:
"You must hold your ground, General
Pender, you must hold your ground,
STRIP
This was the last order he ever gave.
He was borne some distance to the near.
est house and examined by the surgeon,
and after midnight his left arm was am.
putatcd at the shoulder.
When Lee was told that his most
trusted Lieutenant had been wounded,
he was greatly distressed, for the rela.
tions between them were almost tender.

Lee, ''but I have 10 t my rig ght arm. st.

Fatal Fight With a Panther.

At Quilimane I had an opportunity Of
seeing a giadiatorial exhibition as strik-
ing as any of those witnessed in the
Roman arena. One morning, imme.
diately after my arrival, a man came or
board hurriedly, with the intelligence
that tiger (as they are enormously
called, but rarely large panther had
been tracked into a wide-spreading
mango tree, near the center OF the
settlement. l at once seized my rifle,
landed and proceeded to the spot, but
found that l had been forestalled by q
Portuguese sailor, who, relying upon the
skillfulness of his murdcrous knife, was
just approaching the tree as l ap'
peared upon the scene. Calling
the panther all sorts Of opprobrious
names, he quickly enragcd the
beast so much that he descended, his
first leap being on the inclined trunk,
and the second to the ground. AS ne
made this the sailor aimed a blow with
his knife behind the left shoulder blade.
but missed, and struck the bone itself,
whereupon the panther turned upon him,
and then ensucd struggle that should
not like to witness n second time the
beast and the man rolling over and over
each other, the one clawing and biting
and the other stabbing. Of course, ii
was impossible for me to fire without the
risk of hitting the sailor, so the fight
ended in what might have been seen
from the first would have becu the inev-
liable result-the panther was stretched
dead on the field o. battle and the sailor
was so dreadfully wounded that he
died a few hours afterward. Ocerland

Remarkable Freak Of Fingers.

A remarkable instance of heredity is
observed in the Young family in Salem,
Ga. Willirm Young, carpenter by
trade. was born with the middle and
right finger of his right hand together.
The joints are perfect. His little baby
was born with the same two fingers grown
together. Mr. Young has nine brothers
who have natural fingers. Neither his
father nor his fathers brothers had any
such mark, yet their only sister has the
identical fingers on the same hand grown
together. His grandfather had three fin
gers on each hand and three toes of each
foot grown together. and us far back as
he can trace the same freak is apparent,
but never happening on more than one in
each family.

Life on the Noon.

There is reason for thinking that the
moon is not absolutely airless, and, while
it has no visible bodies of water, its soil
may, after all, not be entirely arid and
desiccated. There are observations which
hint at visible changes in certain spots
that could possibly be caused by vegeta.
ton, and there are other observations
which suggest the display of electric
luminosity in raritied atmosphere COW
ering the moon. To declare that no pos.
sible form of life can exist under the con-
ditions prevailing upon the lunar surface
would be saying too much, for human in.
tellinencc cannot set bounds to creative
power. Yet, within the limits of life,
such as we know them, it is probably safe
to assert that the moon is dead and de-
serted world. In other words, if arace OF
beings resembling ourselves, or resembling
any Of our contemporaries in terrestrial
life, ever existed upon the moon, they
must long since have pcrished. That such
beings may have existed is possible, par.
ticularly if it is true, as generally be.
lieved, that the moon once had COM
paratively dense atmosphere and water
upon it's surface, which have now, in the
process of cooling of the lunar globe, been
withdrawn into its interior. 1t certainly
docs not detract from the interest with
which we study the rugged and beauti.
full scenery of the moon to reflect that il
we could visit those ancient sca-bottoms,
or explore those glittcring mountains,
We ight, pcrchancc, find there some re-
mains or mementocs of a race that flour.

How Peas Are Canned.

The canning of green peas, which is a
busy industry in Delaware, is an inter.
esting process. The peas are shcllcd by
hand and then fed into the hopper of a
separator, which divides them into three
grades. Then they are put into copper
kettles, where they are steamed just
enough to wrinkle the outer skin and
intensity if possible the vivid green of the
pea. They are then filled into cans,
which are placed on an iron tray and
dipped in trough or tub of boiling
water, which runs into the cans, filling
them to the brim This water contains
whatever of preservative nature is put
into the cans to preserve the vegetable.
The cans are then wiped, sealed and
packed in iron cages each cage holding
24s cans. These cages are put into air,
tight steam kettles, where the cans are
subjected to hot steam under intense
pressure for about fifteen or twenty
minutes. The peas arc then ready fo1
market.

Sunstroke Symptoms and Treatment.

When. during the heated term one who
has been exposed to the suns heated
rays begins to suffer from the headache,
giddiness, nausea and disturbances of
sight, accompanied with sudden and
great prostration of the physical forces,
sunstroke il probably imminent. If such
an one will take time by the forelock and
Immediately retire to cool place, max
ing use of some simple restoratives, such
as aromatic ammonia, &C., he may be
spered further trouble; but if he persists
with his business he will doubtless soon
become very i'll, which illness takes the
form of heat exhaustion, heat apoplexy
or genuine surstroke, the thermic fever
Of some writers.
Those who are exhausted by the heat
have cool, moist skin, a rapid, weak
pulse and respiration movement and the
pupil is dilated. In fact, the symptoms
are those of collapse. These patients will
probably recover promptly, an event
which may be fastened by the use of a
tonic and restorative treatment.
Those who suffer from heat apoplexy
frequently become unconscious at the on
set. The heart and breathing apparatus
is not markedly disturbed, and the pupil
may be normal, but the unconsciousEess
deepens and the case runs on to fatal
termination. An artery has been broken
in the brain, and the poured out blood
pressing on the nerve centres brings about
the fatal event. A treatment calculated
to draw the blood from the brain to the
extremities-hot foot-baths, bleeding,
etc., promises to be the most useful in
such cases.
The thermic fever patient is uncon-
scious and convulsed, and his body tenn
perature may be 1OS to 40 degrees Fab
rcnheit-that is, ten degrees above nor
NAL. The skin of this patient feels as
though it would burn your hand when
laid thereon. In this case the thorough
and prompt application of cold is needed.
Ice to the head and cold water to the
body generally will be in order. Medical
advice should be promptly had in either
of the two cases last referred to. Com
plete recovery from sun-stroke is rare,
the brain being permanently crippled in
many cases. Residence in a cold climate
affords some hope for such PATIENTS

An Extraordinary Accident.

An extraordinary accident is reported
from the neighborhood of Maidenstone,
England. A lad eight years of age was
flying kite when he stepped backward
into forty-foot quarry, to the great
horror of the bystanders. Fortunately
for the little fellow the string of the kite
was tight around his wrist, and the kite,
acting as parachute, effectually broke
the violence of the fall and he was only
slightly bruised.
